I bought all the bits to rebuild the 4L60-E and was waiting for a slot with Zannetec to get it built when I blew the 3/4 clutches on the Camaro. That left me with two identically broken gearboxes, one rebuild slot and one set of parts. As the Camaro is my daily, that got done first leaving the '5...
I re-flashed the computer last week and fired it up to test the computer. It ran rough, and when I plugged in the laptop it showed an injector circuit fault. I've had exactly the same fault before when a fuse went on the Camaro, so I got all the fuses out one by one and tested them but none were...
The Camaro got a new engine and trans a few weeks back, and the PCM needed to be re-flashed for the later trans. Unfortunately the extension that the laptop was plugged into wasn't switched on and I ended up with a blank PCM when the battery went on the laptop. The camaro was at Zannetec so the '...
I got wiper blades this week and a quick check showed they didn't fit the arms that I had. After a bit of grinding down to size I fitted them but didn't tighten them fully just in case the sweep was wrong. I flipped them outwards as well and switched them on to check. There was a horrble crunch a...
I set out today to do some little bits and bobs as I didn't have much time this weekend. I drove it out and turned it round first so that I could work on the other side of the car. First thing was the missing bit of trim on the wing, no real drama there. Next was a few adjustments to the trunk lo...
I'd bought some more ally 90's to finish off the plumbing again so with the intercooler hung on it's new brackets I measured up to cut them down to suit. Once I was happy that it would work I started clamping it all up before checking that it cleared the wheels. It took a lot of adjusting to get...
When I drove the car the other day I heard a rubbing noise when the car was on full lock. I had a quick look and couldn't see anything so planned to have a proper look around later. I was thinking about it the other day and decided it was probably the intercooler plumbing. When I had a look at it...
I finally got the prop re-made to fit (don't ask) and the limited slip oil so I got it up on stands and fitted the prop and filled it up. I fired it up and put it into gear and gave it a bit of throttle to make sure it was changing gear. It didn't. I plufged the laptop in and it was showing a ver...
I started off on Saturday intending to have a look at the parking brake and a few other bits, but after a bit of checking realised I couldn't get away with using a long one as there just wasn't any room to put it. I marked it for the length I needed and moved on to wiring again. I had a few more...
The hood has been sat at the paintshop waiting to come back, and they rang me yesterday and asked if they could drop it off today. It was due late morning so after I dropped Poppy to school I came home and tidied up a bit so I could put it straight on. I'd bought some heater hose in the week so I...
